The issue is not what you think is moral because you agree it is bad or not, it is the standard of God's word that weighs in as authoritative. It doesn't matter if you don't like gay marriage either. it is the false narrative that one's freedom to sin must be accepted by all. That is not the freedom it is Bondage. Those who call it freedom call evil good and good evil.

They have perverted freedom.
Fine. This is your personally held religious belief. But you would be foolish to demand all people in a secular country based on a constitution to accept this as a legal determiner of rights and freedoms. Do to so would be to alienate such a significant number of them that it might quickly become impossible to make yourself properly heard in a debate about freedom and rights.

How do you imagine that would help manifest your morality in society?

The term "freedom" and the action one does associate with freedom have repercussions. You make a ridiculous and false narrative about what you think I want.

Again all have the freedom to do whatever they like to do nothing stops them, yet the response to the action will bring its own reward. Every civilized society holds some form of what is known as the Ten Commandments and has laws to deal with those who break them.

The only time those laws do not work is when men lessen them. Morality is not a law it is a mindset that comes from the heart of a person. Right and wrong are understood by what you would or would not want to be done to you. The US Constitution is dead or perverted based on the morality of the nation.
